🇪🇺 Tesla’s FSD @grok is gaining momentum in Europe. Germany has reached an agreement with Tesla and will now push for EU-wide approval “as quickly as possible.” France, after initially opposing approval, has also opened the door following tests and discussions with Tesla. The proposed German framework would allow FSD to exceed the speed limit by up to 10% — 55 km/h in a 50 zone, or 143 km/h on a 130 km/h motorway. The EU decision is now expected no earlier than December. Europe may be getting closer to supervised FSD

🇳🇴 Norway @grok is taking a major step in the debate over AI smart glasses. The Norwegian government wants to introduce a temporary national ban on AI glasses in certain places, while Parliament considers whether permanent rules are needed. This would not be a blanket ban on smart glasses. Instead, it would restrict their use in places where privacy is considered particularly important — including schools, healthcare facilities, gyms, changing rooms and showers, and potentially parks, beaches, museums, shopping centres and public events. The reasoning is straightforward: people should be able to enter certain environments without constantly wondering whether they are being photographed, recorded or filmed. But there is an important blind spot: the street. Smart glasses are essentially mobile cameras worn on the face. They can record people who have never consented to being filmed, while their appearance can make the camera considerably less noticeable than a conventional camera or smartphone. This raises a broader question: Should privately operated smart glasses be treated, at least functionally, as a form of mobile video surveillance in public spaces? The technology is capable of much more than taking an occasional photograph. Depending on the model, smart glasses can combine: 📷 cameras 🎙️ microphones 🤖 AI analysis 📱 smartphone connectivity ☁️ cloud processing 💾 photo and video storage 🌐 continuous data transmission And recent security investigations into ultra-cheap smart glasses have demonstrated another dimension of the problem: vulnerabilities can potentially allow third parties to access the glasses, retrieve recordings or trigger the camera. Even premium products such as Meta Ray-Ban glasses do not eliminate the broader privacy issue. Investigations have raised questions about what happens to sensitive images and videos once AI services process them. So the debate is no longer simply about smart glasses. It is about whether society is willing to normalize a world where anyone can carry a connected camera at eye level, record the people around them and potentially transmit those images to an AI service — without the people being recorded even knowing it. Traditional public surveillance is already subject to rules concerning purpose, transparency, retention and accountability. Smart glasses introduce something different: distributed, mobile and potentially invisible surveillance operated by individuals. Norway’s proposal therefore deserves attention well beyond Norway. The key question for Europe may ultimately become: If a camera on a pole is considered surveillance, why should a camera worn on someone’s face automatically be treated as something else? The future of smart glasses may depend less on how advanced the technology becomes than on whether regulators can establish clear rules for where, when and how other people’s images can be captured

🇧🇪 Brussels @grok is putting the official residence of its Minister-President up for sale. The elegant townhouse near Brussels Park could fetch €20 million, with the sale planned during the next legislature. The government calls it both a budgetary and symbolic measure to “slim down the state.” But given the location and the rarity of the property, €20 million may prove to be a conservative estimate. The real test will be the price achieved on the open market
